JAKE PAUL vs ANTHONY JOSHUA: THE GOAT DEBATE 🐐 Tonight, the highly anticipated year-ending fight takes place between the celebrity boxer Jake Paul and British heavyweight Anthony Joshua. But beyond the showdown in the ring, there’s also a clash in football opinions 👀 🗣️ Jake Paul has been clear about his stance: “Messi is the GOAT of the whole entire sports world.” 🇦🇷 🗣️Meanwhile, Anthony Joshua has publicly declared his admiration for the Portuguese star: “Cristiano Ronaldo is my hero.” 🇵🇹 Different corners. Different GOATs. Tonight, they settle it in the ring 🥊🔥

🗣️ 𝗝𝗼𝘀𝗲́ 𝗠𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗵𝗼: "The penalty shootout defeat in the 2012 Champions League semi-final against Bayern is one of the most painful of my career. Unfortunately, it's football. Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaká and Sergio Ramos missed penalties. Three complete football monsters, but they are human. That night was the only time in my coaching career that I cried after a loss. It was very difficult because we were the best that year. We were the best team in Europe. We won La Liga breaking all records for points and goals and we would have won this final against Chelsea, I have no doubt. The cruelest thing for me was that in the penalty shootout we chose Cristiano, Kaká and Sergio, absolute certainties. The fact that these guys lost destroyed me.”

Franck Ribery 🗣️ “Alaba was 16 and I invited him to my house. He saw my Ferrari and my watch. I got mad and told him not to look at them. He should only think about improving on the pitch. Later the rest would come. David did it and he thanked me.”

No, this isn’t a montage or anything like that. It’s Pepe Reina wearing the Liverpool shirt in a position other than goalkeeper 🇪🇸. This unbelievable moment happened during a friendly match between the Reds and Kaiserslautern on July 29, 2006, in Liechtenstein. In this game, where the Merseyside club lost 3-2, two players, Fábio Aurelio and Luis García, got injured with 15 minutes left. Liverpool had only Pepe Reina left on the bench. Rafa Benítez decided to put him in midfield, and he even came close to scoring 🤯. To avoid playing 10 vs. 11, Kaiserslautern allowed the English team to bring Robbie Fowler — who had already been subbed off, back onto the pitch.

In one match, he yelled at me aggressively: "Do you think two pretty passes are enough? Do you think giving 50% of your level is good enough for me?" I took off my shirt and threw it! He told me: "You're a coward! You don’t want to fight anymore to win the fans over! You seem like a good player, but as a person… you’re a coward!" At that moment, I hated Mourinho, but honestly… I love him. It was a lesson. To be fair, he doesn’t care about names. What matters most to Mourinho is the desire to win and the player’s effort. Not even Ronaldo was spared from his criticism for slacking off a bit. I remember one of our legendary matches in LaLiga: Ronaldo scored a hat-trick against Sevilla, and we won 6–0. We all thought he’d praise us after the game! But he surprised us by pulling a piece of paper from his pocket, with notes on when and where each of us had lost the ball. Then he said: "Even the guy with the hat-trick was careless!" He didn’t care if you were at the level of Maradona or Zidan

JULIO CÉSAR: "On Saturday we were at the hotel in Milan because on Sunday we were playing against Siena. We knew that if Milan lost to Udinese that night, we’d become champions. So we were all watching the game together. When Milan lost, we went crazy. And we said we should go to Piazza del Duomo. But when I talked to Zanetti and other players, they said Mourinho didn’t want us to go there. Mourinho wanted us to rest before the match against Siena. It made no sense! We had already won the title. We had no other competitions left. I realized Mourinho wanted to break a Serie A record, so I got mad. I told Zanetti: ‘We have to go to the square. We deserve it.’ At that moment Mourinho walked by and shouted: ‘Júlio César, why don’t you go by yourself?’ I yelled back: ‘Everyone wants to go. They’re just afraid to tell you, but I’m not.’ Mourinho went back to his room. I didn’t accept that, so I went to find him. When I entered his room, he was lying on the bed and I said: ‘Look, if you don

ANDER HERRERA: “Neymar was dancing like it was just another Tuesday, and I couldn’t even look at the trophy.” “Before the 2020 Champions League final between PSG and Bayern, anxiety hit me so hard that my mind started inventing pain. I felt injured when I wasn’t, the pressure was eating me alive, I couldn’t sleep, and having the trophy right there in front of me paralyzed me. My body was screaming: ‘You can’t take it anymore.’ And while I was in that mental hole, Neymar walked into the locker room moving to the beat of the music, headphones on, smiling, like we were about to play a friendly. I looked at him and thought: ‘How can he be so calm?’ I avoided the trophy like it would burn me, and he, seeing me, grabbed me and said: ‘Look at it, brother, it’s for us. Believe it.’ He made me face the trophy, laugh, breathe, release the tension. For him, it was part of the psychological battle. That night I understood that every player deals with pressure in their own way. There’s no perfec

THE MATCH THAT CHANGED SCALONI'S LIFE 🗣️ Lionel Scaloni: “The experience in England was very good until the last match that changed my entire history. We played the FA Cup final with West Ham against Rafa Benítez's Liverpool. That match practically changed my life. Today, I have two children because of that game." "We were winning 3-2, and there was a minute and a half left in the match, it was historic for West Ham. A cross came in from the far post, and I remember heading it with Cissé. The ball fell to me, and I heard a scream from him like he was cramping or hurt. I thought we had to stop the match, so I kicked the ball out. I kicked it between the corner and the last 3/4 of the field. Of course, there was a minute and a half left, and I couldn't waste time." "The Liverpool player took the throw-in and threw it directly to me. They came to press me, and I kicked it upfield. The ball landed almost at midfield, the Norwegian Riise got it and sent it to the far post. Gerrard hit i
